Yes, nobody – apart from possibly children – looks forward to the February half-term, but at least it’s invariably blessed with the Southbank Centre’s Imagine Children’s Festival, a mix of family-oriented shows and workshops, play experiences and exhibitions, music, art and literature that’ll keep youngsters diverted February 7-17.
There are events for all ages (from babies to teens) with many of them free, ranging from adventure trails around the Southbank to a disco dance party.
As ever, there is just too much on at the festival to give a meaningful flavour here, but this year’s Imagine line-up ranges from children’s literature stars like ubiquitous ‘We’re Going On a Bear Hunt’ legend Michael Rosen, to the lavish ‘CBeebies Ocean Adventure’, a multimedia event that mixes new on-screen adventures with your favourite Cbeebies stars with live music from the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Plus innumerable theatre shows, gigs, quizzes and more – to get the full schedule head over to the Southbank Centre website.
